Lecture notes to PDF

Inspiration:

We wanted a utility to help out students take notes, including ourselves!

What it does:

Converts your lecture notes pictures into digital text format

How we built it

Using node.js, react, tesseract.js for optical character recognition, and Azure (later changed to localhost); created an interface to submit images from a URL and get back text based on the tesseract.js output.

Challenges we ran into:

Azure didn't accept the same code that our localhost would run
React formatting was a challenge to get used to (first timers), and we simplified some of our implementation in order to accommodate.

I set up a github repository with additional contributors. Worked on the CSS, Javascript and HTML. Some of my implementation didn't make it into the finished product; but I assure you it was gorgeous.

I worked on setting up an Azure server, but the code that worked well on localhost didn't directly convert. I had a working sync between Azure and our github repository though, which was pretty exciting!
